Question 1 : Do you have any real sentiments to the increasing popularity of Sorim Couple?
Kim Soeun : I did not anticipate that the audience reaction would be so warm. Was really worried about this before but all of them say that we have done very well and that we are a very fun and interesting couple so I feel very satisfied. As compared to the reactions of a TV drama series, these responses are much faster. People who have watched us onscreen for the first time have all commented that it is really good. Because of the WGM variety show, I've also heard that our drama series are also receiving more attention than before. Because of my skills as a performing artiste in WGM, people are beginning to feel a sense of affinity towards me.
Song Jaerim : Beginning to rise as of the top few artistes in real-time search rankings. But once you've reached the top rank, it's also likely that you may slip even more and may no longer be in the list of the top artiste searches. Ha...Ha... I'm quite a homely person so I don't often go out. Hence, I'm not exactly able to experience these realistic feelings. However, lately, at the supermarket in my neighborhood, the ahjummas did ask me if I'm the young man from WGM so this starts to dawn upon me the powerful skills that I have as an artiste and this is a sense of realism for me.
Question 2 : As an actress, you have been making fixed and regular appearances onscreen, and it seems like when you've finally decided to join WGM, this isn't an easy decision for you. Can you comment on this?
Kim Soeun : Having lived up to now, this is the first time that I've felt really distressed and troubled over something. I want to break away from this current image of a demure and methodical person portrayed onscreen who is always seen to be suffering in silence. If I were to display my real personality and show the person I truly am, I feel that I may be able to change my image. But I was really worried because right till the end, they did not reveal who my husband is. Whether I will like or dislike him, we are still spending a couple of months living together as a newlywed couple. As I do not know who my husband will be, this is totally unexpected for me.
Song Jaerim : In reality, WGM is not a show I enjoy watching. Because I feel that a variety show like this is scripted and designed in a set form beforehand so I feel that such reality shows are rather strange. To tell the truth, because I'm an actor, certain form of recognition is also required to an extent. Since I'm given the opportunity to display my skills as a performing artiste not just to show my acting skills but also this is a chance for me to show the whole side of me too.
Question 3 : Especially, Jaerim ssi, it seems like you have put down all your baggage and this is the feeling that I get....
Jaerim : Yes, because I am holding onto the hope that I want to show my real self so I've put down all the baggage and started doing it. I want to break out of this taciturn image so I would require some point of self-transformation. In fact, showing this side of me on WGM is also a gamble for me. But I guess it's also because there is nothing important for me to lose too. My character in TMTETS is somewhat unfamiliar to me, "Whose sword does this belong to?", this is the kind of feeling I often get. The character seems so taciturn but in reality I am not like this at all so I find this is really interesting for me too.

Question 4 : Every time when you want to show something new, you don't feel it's a burden to do so?
Song Jaerim : No, I do not. I am not parodying a comedian in a show to make people laugh but rather I sincerely and genuinely want to do it. Because I do not know what the audience like, under what circumstances will cause them to burst out into hilarious laughter, regarding these things, I really do not understand and cannot comprehend, so it has crossed my mind before and I felt like giving up too. If we prepare this in advance, in order to say the words that we have already prepared beforehand and creating the right opportunity for us to do so, then if this is the case, the audience may also feel very uncomfortable and awkward seeing these too.
Question 4 : Uncovering Kim Soeun's performing arts talent not even known to her before...how does she feel about this?
Kim Soeun : "Do you want to be hit by this?" These kind of words are often said to people whom I'm really close to. But to the audience, they have never seen this side of me before. My usual mannerism and behavior have been revealed, hence, this will also give others an extremely fresh feel seeing me like this.
Song Jaerim : No matter what I say, even when we are bantering, Soeun would always give really good responses. If I hold her by the hand, she will follow me (implying following my pace). Even if she refuses to do so, she will also give others a good sense of feeling for being turned down. There is this kind of SENSE about her. We match each other really well.
Question 5 : During your first meeting, there seems to be this sense of awkwardness between you both but now it seems like you are really at ease and comfortable with each other. You should feel very relaxed now, right?
Kim Soeun : Yes, we are a lot more at ease with each other now. Actually, in reality, when I'm in a relationship, I am not the type who like to play push-and-pull. If I really like someone, I'm the kind of person who will definitely show it. But with Jaerim Oppa, there is nonetheless some form of push-and-pull. Because if we are too relaxed, there won't be such feelings of excitement. Since Oppa only knows how to come forward with his "attacks" so sometimes, I will evade too...
Song Jaerim : It really seems like we are doing the same (as that of a real life couple?). Even if we are really in love, as a couple, we would also quarrel. But in any case, because we want to show this side of blissful romance in the show, we need to define this part of the relationship where we are seen to be getting along really well with each other. Ha...ha...because we are newlyweds, naturally we won't be seen quarreling with the other.

So Eun and a part of Solim Interview on Allure
"What the viewers like, wherein will there be a sudden outburst, regarding these things, I really do not understand and cannot comprehend, gradually also feels like giving up too.
